Ylläs is Finish Lapland,
stunning natural beauty and magical atmosphere
- famous for its 'blue light' in the day and the northern lights at
night.

Ylläs, pronounced `U-las`,
consists of seven fells and two original Sami villages; Akaslompolo village is located on the northern side of the the
Ylläs
fell and Yllasjarvi village on the southern side. Both
have a range of local bars and restaurants
and a free ski bus to the lifts.

In Ylläs
you can feel the original Lappish atmosphere: in most hotels and cafes
you are served by a second or third generation of families.

The crisp, dry climate ensures snow reliability right
through one of the longest ski seasons. Whether you're looking for an
action-packed week of skiing and adventures, or something a little
more relaxing, Ylläs can offer both. Its uncrowded, floodlit slopes
are ideal for beginners and intermediates, while the sheer choice of
activities means you can try things you've only ever dreamed of.

The ski
season begins in October and lasts until May. The sun does not rise in
winter until late January, when temperatures can be as low as -40ºC
although there is adequate daylight. However when cold, its normally
a dry cold which is comfortable for periods so long as adequate
thermal skiwear is worn. By March the days are longer than in the Alps
and in May, when daylight approaches 24 hours, the slopes are still open when most northern hemisphere ski
areas are closed.
